The NZ vs WI 1st test will be played on November 02-06, 2025, at Hagley Oval Cricket Ground, Christchurch. New Zealand has an excellent opportunity to replace Australia and claim the top spot in the ICC WTC 2025-27 Standings.
Meanwhile, the West Indies have played five test matches in the ICC WTC 2025-27 cycle, but they didn’t win a single one of them. Therefore, the West Indies is at 8th spot in the latest ICC WTC 2025-27 Points Table with a PCT of 0% and they might slip to the bottom of ICC WTC 2025-27 Rankings after this three-match test series.
However, New Zealand hasn’t played a single test match so far in this ICC World Test Championship 2025-2027 Cycle. On the other hand, teams like India and England have played 9 and 6 test matches so far in the ICC WTC 2025-27, respectively.
